The Minnesota Vikings opened their preseason on Aug. 15 against the New York Giants at MetLife Stadium, and midway through the game, the team was already getting bad news.
One of the veteran signings that the Vikings made during training camp was adding Jamal Adams. The safety looked to be in a hybrid role for defensive coordinator Brian Flores, potentially playing safety and linebacker.
Nonetheless, that might no longer be the case as Adams left the preseason game against the Giants on a cart. The Athletic’s Alec Lewis shared the news on Adams going down and it doesn’t look good for the veteran.
“A cart is coming for S Jamal Adams,” Lewis wrote on X on Aug. 15. “Teammates had been checking on him in the medical tent. Josh Metellus and Byron Murphy Jr. looked pretty upset.”
Lewis followed up that news midgame with how the Vikings coaching staff is reacting to Adams’ injury.
“The whole Vikings defense — including DC Brian Flores — spending a lot of time with Jamal Adams,” Lewis added on X. “You could see and observe how much they took to him in a pretty quick period over the last few weeks. Now Kevin O’Connell is over with Jamal Adams, hand on his head, patting him on the back. Just brutal, man.”
